I've noticed in pics and videos that one eyelid sits lower than the other. I am not sure if it is noticable to others. No one in my life has mentioned it directly. What steps can I take to fix this problem?

Answer: One eyelid lower than the other You appear to have ptosis, which is a condition where a muscle in the upper eyelid becomes weakened and it allows the eyelid to fall lower across the eyeball than it should. This issue can be corrected with a surgical procedure. I would see an oculoplastic surgeon or a surgeon experienced in ptosis repair surgery.

Answer: Yes, bilateral upper eyelid ptosis. The right side is a bit worse than the left. Get this fixed so you do not look sleepy. A surgery is requires but it is pretty comfortable to have this work and recovery relatively quick. If you health insurance, this might even be covered. I recommend looking on the website for the American Society for Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (ASOPRS) maintains a regional directory that can help you find a highly qualified surgeon close to home. Your eyes can be your best feature.
